Red Apple Pickle | Instant apple pickle

R & Me are big pickle fans, we always buy a bottle of Priya's Urugai no matter where we are, that crazy. But after marriage comes the idea of making pickle at home. For a person like me who can make pickle at home, I am sure anyone can. I always am this person who would love to wind up all the kitchen work under an hour and that includes cleaning, washing etc. Pickles usually have a long process and I love the shortcut version of instant pickles which still hold and develop lots of flavours. I have few other instant pickles which are a big hit at home Tomato Pickle & Mango Pickle. So the other day I had nearly 2 dozen apples and was wondering what to do with them and I was not looking at a sweet recipe so I got this idea of doing a pickle with apples. The result was fabulous, R loved it so much that he had it with his dosa, idly, rice, chappati and even with curd ;-) the red apples did have a slight sweetness to them I balanced it with lemon juice.

To this add the prep'd apple chunks and toss well let it cook for just a minute switch off and let it cool completely, Now add remaining lemon juice and mix well

Store in an air-tight container and enjoy for upto a week

Cooks Wisdom- Make sure you do not chop apple too fine as it might become mushy. And do not keep apples in flame for more than a minute it will turn very soft and cook very fast- This pickle is an instant one and hence would last for upto a week in a refrigerator. Take care to use a clean and dry spoon to use the pickle this helps in its shelf life.- You can adjust spice according to your taste. As red apples on the sweeter side, so I have balanced with lemon juice.
